WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: June 16, 1998
The objective of Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fund') is high
current income consistent with reasonable risk and, secondarily, capital
appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified
portfolio of fixed-income securities, including both corporate and U.S.
government issues.
For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
2.75%, vs. a 3.12% gain for the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond
Index.* The Fund's one-year return through April 30 was 9.34%. Its average
annual five-year, 10-year and since-inception (on August 17, 1987) average
annual total returns were 7.14%, 8.05% and 8.15%, respectively.
The November-through-April span was ultimately a positive one for the
domestic fixed-income market. The period began on a strong note, with bonds
benefiting from an Asia-related flight to quality and a consensus that Asia's
turmoil would further ease already-low inflation. Against this backdrop, the
yield on the U.S. Treasury's 30-year bond fell from 6.14% at the start of the
period to 5.69% by mid-January, a two-decade low. The economy remained buoyant,
however, raising the specter of potential inflation, and bonds gave up some of
their gains over the latter part of the period.
We made a few noteworthy changes to the Fund during the period in terms of
interest-rate exposure and sector allocation. Regarding the former, we modestly
reduced the Fund's duration in March based on risk-vs.-reward considerations.
That said, we kept the Fund's duration longer than that of its benchmark
throughout, reflecting our generally favorable view of inflation and interest
rates.
In terms of sector concentration, we continued to emphasize Treasuries, since
we viewed them as most attractive on a risk-adjusted basis. We did, however,
reduce our weighting here near the end of the period, using the proceeds to
raise our stake in mortgage-backed issues. We were underweighted in the
mortgage-backed sector through much of the six months, due in large part to
prepayment concerns. We found a number of attractive buying opportunities late
in the period, however, within both the government-agency and commercial
mortgage-backed areas.
We maintained a significant position in corporate bonds, where our focus
remained on investment-grade debt. With few exceptions, we deemed the higher
yields offered by below-investment-grade bonds to be insufficient compensation
for their underlying credit risk. Our corporate bonds

contributed positively to the Fund's November-through-April performance, buoyed
by the economy's continued health.
Elsewhere, we held a relatively small weighting in foreign bonds, one we
trimmed during the period. Most specifically, we sold our South Korean issues in
December due to the country's rapidly deteriorating financial condition. These
issues hampered the Fund's performance for the period. We also held a small
position in preferred securities, which contributed positively to the Fund's
return.

Dear Shareholder: June 16, 1998
The objective of Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fund') is
maximum total return -- consistent with prudent management -- through a
combination of interest income, currency gains and capital appreciation. The
Fund's holdings mainly include a wide range of fixed-income obligations of
government and corporate issuers.
Effective March 31, 1998, Laxmi C. Bhandari no longer serves as Co-Portfolio
Manager of the Fund. Effective May 29, Charles C. van Vleet is a Co-Portfolio
Manager of the Fund, along with Co-Portfolio Manager Dale C. Christensen.
MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund gained 0.39%, vs. gains of
4.88% for the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index (Currency-Hedged)**
and 3.85% for the Lipper World Income Funds Average.*** The Fund's one-year
return as of April 30 was 2.56%. Its five-year and since-inception (on November
1, 1990) average annual total returns were 6.43% and 7.95%, respectively.
The November-through-April span was a positive one for most global bond
markets, though performance varied significantly by region. In Europe, markets
showed universal strength, reflecting the region's continued benign inflation,
falling deficits and optimism regarding the launch of European Monetary Union.
Dollar-bloc markets (most specifically, the U.S., Canada, Australia and New
Zealand), though not as strong as Europe, also saw good performances, thanks in
part to subdued inflation. Elsewhere, emerging markets had mixed results. While
some recovered nicely from Asia-related declines early in the period, others,
including Asian markets in which the Fund had significant positions, continued
to be plagued by currency and debt concerns.
We made several noteworthy changes to the Fund during the period in terms of
regional allocation. We increased our weighting in Europe, reflecting our view
that the area's low inflation and fiscal austerity will continue to provide a
hospitable environment for bonds. Our primary focus remained on

bonds from Europe's 'core' economies (e.g., Germany), which we generally deemed
to have the most attractive risk-adjusted yields.
We also raised our exposure to dollar-bloc issues, in particular
intermediate-term U.S. Treasuries. Our heightened emphasis on these securities
was based on their historically compelling inflation-adjusted yields. In
addition, we viewed the supply/demand backdrop for Treasuries as increasingly
supportive, given the U.S. government's improving fiscal situation and reduced
borrowing needs.
We reduced our weighting in Asia during the six months. We held a relatively
large weighting here through much of the period, which weighed heavily on the
Fund's performance, given the negative impact the region's financial crisis had
on bonds there generally. Due to the area's deteriorating financial backdrop, we
opted to sell most of our Indonesia and Thailand issues and selectively pare our
exposure to South Korea.
Elsewhere, we eliminated the bulk of our position in Latin America during the
period. Most of our exposure here was in the form of intermediate-term Brazilian
bank holdings, which we sold on profit-taking against what we viewed as an
increasingly risky near-term economic environment.
In terms of currency exposure, the majority of the Fund's portfolio
securities was dollar-denominated in or hedged into dollars throughout the six
months. This proved beneficial to the Fund's performance, given the continued
rise of the dollar against most currencies during the period.

WARBURG PINCUS INTERMEDIATE MATURITY GOVERNMENT FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: June 16, 1998
The objective of Warburg Pincus Intermediate Maturity Fund (the 'Fund') is a
high level of current income consistent with capital preservation. The Fund
invests primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will
maintain a weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and 10 years.
For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
2.86%, vs. a 3.06% return for the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index.*
The Fund's one-year return through April 30 was 8.46%. Its respective five-year
and since-inception (on August 22, 1988) average annual total returns were 5.59%
and 8.07%, respectively.
The period was a positive one for the domestic fixed-income market, supported
by continued benign inflation, an Asia-related focus on quality and projected
federal budget surpluses. These factors ultimately outweighed fears that a
strong economy would prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates as a
preemptive strike against potential inflation. Against this backdrop, virtually
all major bond indexes advanced, albeit modestly.
Our strategy throughout was to manage the Fund's interest-rate exposure from
a risk-reward perspective. In practical terms, this meant extending the Fund's
duration when inflation-adjusted yields were, in our view, attractive, and
reducing duration when we believed market fundamentals were less favorable. We
sought to keep a firm hand on risk, and thus attempted to err on the side of
caution.
In terms of sectors, we maintained a primary emphasis on Treasuries during
the period, as we continued to find them most attractive on a risk-reward basis.
We did, however, reduce our weighting here late in the period, using the
proceeds to add to our position in mortgage-backed bonds, where we found a
number of compelling values. Other areas in which we found good values included
U.S.-agency issues and, to a lesser extent, asset-backed securities,
specifically issues backed by Small Business Administration loans.

WARBURG PINCUS NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder: June 16, 1998
The objective of Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate Municipal Fund (the
'Fund') is maximum current interest income -- exempt from federal income tax and
New York State and New York City personal income taxes -- to the extent
consistent with prudent investment and the preservation of capital. A portion of
the Fund's income may be subject to state and city taxes or the federal
alternative minimum tax.
Effective May 29, 1998, Patrick A. Bittner serves as Co-Portfolio Manager of
the Fund, along with Co-Portfolio Managers Dale C. Christensen and Sharon B.
Parente.
MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
1.55%, vs. gains of 2.83% for the Lehman 5-year Municipal Bond Index* and 2.07%
for the Lipper New York Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average.** The Fund's
one-year return as of April 30 was 5.65%. Its five-year, 10-year and
since-inception (on April 1, 1987) average annual total returns were 4.98%,
6.24% and 5.85%, respectively.
The period was a positive one for municipal bonds, supported by continued
benign inflation and improving federal and state budgets. Municipal bonds
periodically struggled, however, due to fears of potential inflation, given the
continued strong economy. A surge in municipal-bond issuance also weighed on the
market, particularly during the second half of the period. Thus, most major
municipal-bond indexes posted only modest gains for the six months.
We made few noteworthy changes to the Fund during the period. We did,
however, extend the Fund's duration as the period progressed, reflecting our
more-positive view of inflation and interest rates. As a result, the Fund's
duration was modestly longer than that of its Lehman benchmark at the end of
period.
In terms of credit quality, we kept the majority of the Fund invested in
bonds rated AAA. In our judgment, yield spreads between these and lower-rated
bonds generally remained too narrow to justify 'dropping down the credit ladder'
in pursuit of higher yields. The Fund's average credit quality

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
increased during the period, in large measure due to a credit upgrade of New
York City debt by a major rating agency. This had a favorable impact on the
prices of the City's bonds, and hence the Fund's performance: We had a
significant position in New York City debt, one we increased early in the period
in continued anticipation of a credit upgrade.
We made few changes in term of industry/sector allocation during the period.
We remained most heavily weighted in the general-obligation, education and
infrastructure areas. Sectors we continued to largely avoid included hospitals,
against a questionable funding backdrop, and utilities, due to regulatory
uncertainties.
Going forward, we believe the New York municipal market's longer-term
supply/demand fundamentals remain sound. We note with encouragement the relative
ease with which May's $4.9 billion Long Island Power Authority issuance -- part
of an eventual $7 billion issuance funding the state's partial takeover of the
Long Island Lighting Company -- was absorbed by the market. We will, of course,
continue to closely monitor shorter-term supply/demand trends, adjusting the
Fund as we deem appropriate while seeking the most attractive risk-adjusted
after-tax yields.

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1998 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds (the 'Funds') are comprised of the
Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund (the 'Fixed Income Fund') and the Warburg
Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund (the 'Intermediate Government
Fund') which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the '1940 Act'), as diversified, open-end management investment companies and
the Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the 'Global Fixed Income Fund') and
the Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate Municipal Fund (the 'New York Municipal
Fund') which are registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies.
Investment objectives for each Fund are as follows: the Fixed Income Fund
seeks to generate high current income consistent with reasonable risk with
capital appreciation a secondary objective; the Global Fixed Income Fund seeks
to maximize total investment return consistent with prudent investment
management, consisting of a combination of interest income, currency gains and
capital appreciation; the Intermediate Government Fund seeks to achieve as high
a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital; and the
New York Municipal Fund seeks to maximize current interest income exempt from
federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income tax to
the extent consistent with prudent investment and preservation of capital.
Each Fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as Common
Shares and one class being referred to as Advisor Shares. Common and Advisor
Shares in each Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in each Fund, except
that they bear different expenses which reflect the difference in the range of
services provided to them. Advisor Shares for each Fund bear expenses paid
pursuant to a distribution plan adopted by each Fund at an annual rate not to
exceed .75% of the average daily net asset value of each Fund's outstanding
Advisor Shares. The Advisor Shares for the Fixed Income Fund, the Intermediate
Government Fund and the New York Municipal Fund currently bear expenses of .25%
of average daily net assets. The Advisor Shares of the Global Fixed Income Fund
currently bear expenses of .50% of average daily net assets.
The net asset value of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Each Fund's investments are
valued at market value, which is generally determined using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
mean between the last reported bid and asked price. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are generally valued at fair value as determined by or
under the direction of the Fund's Board. Short-term investments that mature in
60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
When a Fund writes or purchases a call or a put option, an amount equal to
the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or asset,
the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value
of the

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
option. When the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the
amount of the premium received or paid. When the Fund exercises an option or
enters into a closing transaction by purchasing or selling an offsetting option,
it realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security. The potential loss associated with purchasing an option is
limited to the premium paid, and the premium would partially offset any gains
achieved from its use.
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate
at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in
the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on
the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of
operations for the current period. The Global Fixed Income Fund isolates that
portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which are
due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes
in market prices of debt securities.
The Fixed Income and Global Fixed Income Funds may invest in securities of
foreign issuers, which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in
domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among other things,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, revaluation of currencies, adverse
political and economic developments and the imposition of other laws and
restrictions. Securities of foreign issuers are often subject to less rigorous
regulatory practices and requirements than those applied in the United States
and may also be less liquid (and their prices more volatile) than securities of
comparable U.S companies. Moreover, individual foreign economies may differ
favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in many respects.
The Fixed Income and Global Fixed Income Funds' investments in securities of
issuers located in less developed countries considered to be 'emerging markets'
involve risks in addition to those generally applicable to foreign securities.
Investments in the securities of issuers located in emerging markets expose the
Fund to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature than, and
to political systems that can be expected to have less stability than, those of
developed countries. The typically small size of the markets for securities of
issuers located in emerging markets may also result in a lack of liquidity and
greater price volatility.
The Funds may each invest up to 15% of its assets in non-publicly traded
securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than
publicly-traded securities, and the Fund may take longer to liquidate these
positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Consequently,
26

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
April 30, 1998 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and
may result in substantial losses.
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses,
principally distribution, shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency) and
realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of
shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares. The
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for
the Fixed Income Fund, the Intermediate Government Fund and the New York
Municipal Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid
quarterly for the Global Fixed Income Fund. Distributions for all Funds of net
realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. However, to the
extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss
carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
No provision is made for federal taxes as it is each Fund's intention to
continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite
distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from
Federal income and excise taxes.
The Funds, together with other funds advised by Warburg Pincus Asset
Management, Inc., the Funds' investment adviser ('Warburg') (collectively the
'Warburg Funds'), have established committed and uncommitted lines of credit
facilities with PNC Bank, National Association ('PNC') and an uncommitted line
of credit facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, ('Deutsche Bank') for temporary or
emergency purposes primarily relating to unanticipated fund share redemptions.
Effective December 31, 1997, the terms of the committed line of credit with PNC
was amended. Under the terms of the committed line of credit, the Warburg Funds
with access to the facility pay a commitment fee at a rate of .07% per annum on
the average daily balance of the line of credit, which is undisbursed and
uncanceled during the preceding quarter. In addition, the Warburg Funds will pay
interest on borrowings at the bank's base rate plus .45%. Under the terms of the
Uncommitted lines of credit, the Warburg Funds will pay interest on borrowings
at the banks base rate plus .55%. Aggregate borrowings for each fund under the
committed and uncommitted lines of credit with PNC may not exceed the lowest of
(a) thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the assets of such fund, for
any fund that does not invest at least sixty-five percent (65%) of its assets in
international equity or fixed income securities (an 'International Fund') and
twenty-five percent (25%) of the assets of any fund

that is an International Fund or (b) the maximum amount permitted by such fund's
investment policies and restrictions. Aggregate borrowings for each fund under
the uncommitted line of credit facility with Deutsche Bank may not exceed
thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the net assets of such fund. At
April 30, 1998, there were no outstanding balances under these line of credit
facilities for any of the Funds.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, each Fund, along with other Warburg Funds, transfers uninvested cash
balances to a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements
secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for
repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until the agreements
mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be
sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Funds have an arrangement with their transfer agent whereby interest
earned on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a portion of the transfer
agent expense. For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Funds received
credits or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The Fixed Income Fund and the Global Fixed Income Fund may enter into forward
currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a
fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts
from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. Each Fund will enter into forward contracts
primarily for hedging purposes. However, on occasion the Funds may enter into
forward contracts for speculative purposes, which may increase the Fund's
investment risk. Forward currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange
rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for
financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date.
At April 30, 1998, the Global Fixed Income Fund had the following open
forward foreign currency contracts:

5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its
investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, a
Fund is required to make a deposit of an initial margin with its custodian in a
segregated account. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by
a Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or
losses until the contracts are closed. When the contract is closed, a Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds
from (or cost of) the closing transactions and a Fund's basis in the contract.
Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the
possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with
the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. Second, it is possible
that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary
market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its
maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that
a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a
futures transaction. During the six months ended April 30, 1998, the New York
Municipal Fund entered into futures contracts which resulted in net realized
losses of $129,543. At April 30, 1998, the New York Municipal Fund did not have
any open futures contracts.
6. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Global Fixed Income Fund and the Intermediate Government Fund are each
authorized to issue three billion full and fractional shares of capital stock,
$.001 par value per share, of which two billion shares are designated Advisor
Shares. The Fixed Income Fund and the New York Municipal Fund are each
authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of
beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share, of which one billion shares are
designated as Common Shares and two billion shares are designated Advisor
Shares.

8. NET ASSETS
At April 30, 1998, capital contributions, undistributed net investment
income, accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions and
current period distributions have been adjusted for current period permanent
book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments
of foreign currency transactions. The Global Fixed Income reclassified
$3,080,454 from accumulated net realized gain on foreign currency related items
to undistributed net investment income and also reclassified $7,543,592 of
distributions from accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security
transactions to undistributed net investment income. Net investment income, net
realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related items and net assets were not
affected by this reclassification.
Net Assets at April 30, 1998 consisted of the following:

10. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by Warburg and
certain of its affiliates (the 'Warburg Service Providers') and the Funds' other
service providers rely on the functioning of their respective computer systems.
Many computer systems cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900,
resulting in potential difficulty performing various calculations (the 'Year
2000 Issue'). The Year 2000 Issue could potentially have an adverse impact on
the handling of security trades, the payment of interest and dividends, pricing,
account services and other Fund operations.
The Warburg Service Providers recognize the importance of the Year 2000 Issue
and are taking appropriate steps necessary in preparation for the year 2000. At
this time, there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to
avoid any adverse impact on the Funds nor can there be any assurance that the
Year 2000 Issue will not have an adverse effect on the Funds' investments or on
global markets or economies, generally. In addition, it has been reported that
foreign institutions have made less progress in addressing the Year 2000 Issue
than major U.S. entities, which could adversely effect the Funds' foreign
investments.
The Warburg Service Providers anticipate that their systems and those of the
Funds' other service providers will be adapted in time for the year 2000. To
further this goal, the Warburg Service Providers have coordinated a plan to
repair, adapt or replace systems that are not year 2000 compliant, and are
seeking to obtain similar representations from the Funds' other major service
providers. The Warburg Service Providers will be monitoring the Year 2000 Issue
in an effort to ensure appropriate preparation.
